Chapter 263: Chapter 261: Fighting over an heir
…
Manman lay in Xiaoba’s nest, pecking at her own feathers.
Zi Qi finished the last official business and looked at Manman. This girl wasn’t like Xiaoqi, who was full of cunning; she was straightforward, saying whatever came to mind.
Sometimes she would even blurt out a thing or two about the weather, accurate or not…
“Manman, it looks like the hair on your head has grown out a bit.”
“Oh?” Manman looked up, but no matter how she looked, she couldn’t see it for herself.
Zi Qi chuckled and tossed her a mirror, “Here, your dad, on the other hand, never worries about you.”
“My grandmother said… that it’s a treasure when Manman is ugly, because then thieves won’t covet her.” Manman imitated the tone of Madam Ming and Ming Linyuan when they spoke.
Zi Qi laughed, “Your dad said the same thing before; it turns out it came from your grandmother.”
Suddenly, Manman had a premonition and lifted her head.
Then she saw a shiny golden egg fall onto her back, with Xiaoqi lying on top of it.
“Xiaoqi is back.” Manman scraped Xiaoqi off Xiaoba’s eggshell and hugged Xiaoba herself, fearful that he might suddenly grow legs and run away.
Zi Qi, looking at the anxious Manman, picked up Xiaoqi and sniffed the scent of Sally on her, “Manman, this is not up to you, it depends on your mother.”
“Hmm.” Manman glanced at Xiaoqi again, “Did mother say when she will summon us next time?”
“It’s in the letter.” Xiaoqi took out a letter from her storage bag; it was stamped with cinnabar ink, indicating urgency.
Zi Qi’s expression tightened as he opened the letter, which included a video clip…
After watching it, Zi Qi pondered for a moment and said to Manman, “Your mother will summon Xiaoba again at noon in three days. You want to go, don’t you?”
“Yes, yes, I miss mother.”
“Alright.” Zi Qi put away the letter, “Yu Yan—”
Yu Yan entered the hall, “Your Majesty, what are your orders?”
“Bring the other children over.” Zi Qi instructed Yu Yan and handed him the letter, “Let them see this.”
“Is it from Sister Sally?” Yu Yan took the letter.
“Yes, take a look yourself. Something has happened in the Western District.” Zi Qi said gravely. Although the Western District had the Beast Emperor and it wasn’t his place to intervene, if the Western District couldn’t hold on, it would only be a matter of time for the other three districts.
After reading the letter, Yu Yan immediately left.
Zi Qi caressed Xiaoqi, “All of you siblings, why don’t you go find your mother? Father Beast and your uncles have some business to attend to, and I’m afraid they won’t be able to take good care of you.”
“Is it related to the second sister’s injury?” Xiaoqi asked.
“Yes.” Zi Qi stroked her head, looking into her beautiful eyes, “Did you have fun with your mother this time?”
“Very much. But there’s this annoying big-tailed fox uncle who even wanted to monopolize mother. Xiaoqi chased him away, and now he’s gone to the Youming Continent.”
“The Youming Continent?” Zi Qi knew of this place; it was much like the Dark Continent.
As for that fox, he must be Sally’s new Beast Husband. Zi Qi sighed inwardly but was helpless to do anything about it.
“Fox Clan, is it? How many tails did he have?” The strength of the Fox Clan relied on the number of tails.
Xiaoqi replied, “I counted them, twelve in total.”
Zi Qi: “…”
She had never misjudged when it came to choosing a Beast Husband.
…
Suddenly, Sally sneezed.
Probably those Beast Husbands were gossiping about her stealing children again.
This time she fought, but it was for the safety of her children.
Although there are Substitute Talismans, there’s no need to worry about the children being in the worst-case scenario, but for it to reach the point of invoking the Substitute Talismans, the children must suffer tremendously.
Manman and Yohanes, she already couldn’t bear to see the state of the two children; if there were two more, she would surely go mad.
[Yona’s Substitute Talisman has a red mark, does it mean she’s injured?]
[Host doesn’t have to worry too much. If there’s a fatal danger, the Substitute Talisman will block it.]
[How could I not worry… I originally thought that they would be the safest in the Western District, I didn’t expect them to drop a bombshell on me.]
[Xiaomei analyzed it a bit, this Insect Clan might be related to the Great System.]
[How so?]
[These digital continents are the System’s data extraction sites. If these Insect Clan came following the Great System’s data, then it’s very likely that any place related to the System will be invaded by the Insect Clan.]
[The Demon Realm seems to have no traces of the System, but the Youming Continent…] Sally suddenly remembered Qing Linghuan, who had gone and never returned.
[So, Qing Linghuan must not have been able to come back. Plus, he had mentioned before, Lan Shi was not lightly beaten by the Dragon Mother… He should have sent a message back. If I had given birth here, wouldn’t he want to see his child for the first time?]
“Where did this Rat Clan come from?” Qing Linghuan’s voice rang out.
Sally was taken aback; this was an unexpected mention.
Her face darkened, her expression displeased, “Yo, which deity is this, even knows to come back.”
Qing Linghuan: “…Something happened in the Youming Continent, I couldn’t just stand by.”
“What happened?” Sally asked, then gestured for Yohanes to come to her side.
Qing Linghuan looked at Yohanes, then at Sally, “She is?”
“My own dear daughter.” Sally replied.
“Yellow Rank talent?” He had seen Sally’s children, all of whom had astonishing innate secret techniques; the sudden appearance of a very ordinary Beast Clan member made it difficult to connect her to Sally’s children.
But even though this Rat Clan has low talent, her eyes and Beast form looked very much like Sally’s.
Sally nodded, “Yes, Yellow Rank talent Wood Element Secret Technique, what about it?”
Qing Linghuan, hearing Sally’s increasingly even-tempered voice, knew she was getting unhappy, even more so than when she first asked him why he didn’t come back.
“No, there’s no problem at all. She looks a lot like you.” Qing Linghuan, saying this, took out a bunch of treasures from the Different Space, “These are the gifts Uncle has for you.”
He then asked Sally, “What’s her name?”
Sally’s expression cleared slightly, “Her name is Yohanes Millet.”
Shocker!
She even has Sally’s family name!
Even less someone to mess with!!!
Qing Linghuan immediately took out another bunch of treasures, “The name is really nice, Uncle really likes it.”
Sally’s expression looked much better, and to Shishi, who was a bit baffled upon seeing Qing Linghuan, she said, “Keep all of these.”
“No, no, no, no need, thank you, Uncle.” Shishi finally came to her senses. Qing Linghuan was really too good-looking; she had never seen anyone so attractive.
“Take it, your Uncle Qing doesn’t often have something in his hands.” Sally took out a Storage Bag from the space, collected the gifts Qing Linghuan had given to Shishi, and then hung it around Shishi’s neck.
Qing Linghuan then noticed that there was already a Little Storage Bag hanging around Yohanes’s neck, which was the standard supply Sally gave to her children.
“Which ranking is she?” Qing Linghuan asked.
Sally replied: “My second daughter, ranked third. This litter was triplets; I really like their Father Beast.”
Qing Linghuan suddenly felt a bit jealous, his voice tinged with sourness, “Oh, where is their Father Beast then?”
